14. Old balls are switched for new balls after after the first seven games of the match because the original balls were also used for warm up. After that the balls are switched out for new balls after every nine games. (Am not sure about this part, but I suppose if there is a significant rain delay, the balls may be switched out after the first seven games after the delay if they were used for warm up.)

17..The Wombat

 

[wire chief]

Doing great here; all that's left is the sting ray. Something to do with cell phones.

 

[VAUConnFan]

25. It's a device used to track cell phone use. Law enforcement has used it to lead it toward evidence of criminal activity independent of what is gathered with the stingray because they do not want to divulge the use of the technology. The court ruling thereby prohibits law enforcement from using stingray to gain probable cause. Probable cause must be established before its use. (Reminds me of being in school writing wordy essays in an attempt to get as many points on a subject about which I knew next to nothing or just came in blatantly unprepared)

14..See Tx for a thorough analysis.

15..Geordi sets out to kill their nests.

16..Zorro has Bridey Murphy.

17..Rocket knows his marsupials...or at least watched the same show as did I.

18..The 1st US census in 1790.

19..VAUC is supreme linkster here.

20..Zorro helps here.

21.. Rawlins is a fictional P.I. about whom VAUC reads.

22..Geordi & rbny recall the 50's/60's megastar.

23..Zorro is accurate with the 2 titles.

24..Geordi's offering is certainly worth a memory pause, but that one is 43 years ago, so not a 50th anniversary. The proceedings in Selma happened in 1965, so VAUC is right on here.

25..VAUC celebrates his bombasticity here with a righteous explanation.

Part B is in the can...Not so A.
